Thanks for sharing your expertise, just got my own D-50 with a dead key and this is very helpful.

"i have a small thing that i can tune with here" pickas up a huge trimmer capacitor hahaha good vid i was looking so hard for a radio that used a 741 instead of the standard lm386 !!!!

Love Astoria❤

Well done fixing in one take 😉everything explained and nice procedure with the pencil! THX

I like the idea! Just for fun, I made a similar clock circuit and noticed that the remote must be within a few inches of the photodiode in order to trigger. Did you notice the same? Perhaps a single transistor common emitter amplifier is a bit on the weak side.

40 AAs 😂 The 2402 weighs about 1½ kg

That's a real gem you've found Tommy, congratulations! :)

To me, this sounds like nostalgia.

What he’ll happen to yo

My name is José Manuel and I am from Cantabria. (Santander). Could you tell me if that receiver has any command to turn the display light off and on. Thank you very much and I await news. In the QRZ is my email and address

Me llamo José Manuel y soy de Cantabria. ( Santander ). Podría informarme si ese receptor tiene algún comando para apagar la luz del display y encenderla. Muchas gracias y espero noticias. En el QRZ esta mi correo y dirección.

Elvis is alive and well and fixing keyboards! Who knew?!🕺🤣🤣✌🏻

Hello and thank you for your video you really helped me, can i ask please the think you did with the pencil is it able to do for the aftertouch strip? And if yes is it safe to uncover this thing it has on the aftertouch strip? I did the test on the d50 and aftertouch reach max 80 velocity... Thank you kindly!

Many thanks, your tutorial was really helpful ! From Brussels with love.

What if I use AC to DC transformer to supply noise generator?

*THE "R-9000" ... ALSO SOLD AS "R-9000L" .. ( LCD DISPLAY )*

*.. 2023... I HAVE A "R-9000" ... ( PAY 11.000 DK ) .. IN 2009 ....* *THE PROBLEM IS* *THE POWER SUPP* (7 VOLT DEAD) *IS A BIG "PROBLEM" ...!!!* *THE "7 VOLT" .. POWERs ( ALL FRONT CONTROLLs ) ...* *VOL / SQL / GAIN .. AND AND* *SO ON A "CONNECTOR" ( 6 LEGS OR SO ) .. 7 VOLT .. MUST BE..* ( ON THE TRANSFORMER BOARD ) *SO ONE DAY I **#MUST** "FIX THIS" ... R-9000 IS JUST STANDING ( 5 YEARS OR SO )* hehe i know i know .. *just want to say* *IS A **#TOP** "RADIO" .. AND WILL NEVER SELL THE "R-9000"* !!! YOU ALSO CAN "CONNECT" A BIG #MONITOR .. AND THE "LITTLE" DISPLAY WILL BE YO "SEE" .. ON THE BIG SCREEN ... HAS A LOT OF "CONNECTORS" .. TO "A LOT" OF STUFF .. ALSO ( 3 ANT ) CONNECTORS GOOD LUCK ... EVERYBODY

Would it be okay to also put some graphite on the contacts of the strips as well? Great video, I have a D-20 🙂

For some reason I can not find any info about my Roland D-5 (not 50) multi timberal synthisizer

Tommy, thank you for doing this video! I'm going to attempt to fix a couple dead and nearly-dead keys on my old D-50 before I do the unthinkable....trade it in!

I remember having you as a substiute teacher in art class a couple of times, great times.

Hello, I did it but now the keyboard doesn't work (the keys only, the synth still works). Could you please help me.

Thank you so much for this video. I bought a D50 last week and one of the keys dropped and stayed like that. I figured it was probably a spring or something. I am so happy to have learned how to fix it myself with your help showing how to remove the keybed. A very enjoyable experience.

Can you develop a layout for a circuit board, so you don't need the experimenter's board?

You spelled adieu incorrectly.

That coil took you an hour to wind properly...

Band aids on the bridge. I was still going out there when they were working on it and I took some pics of it. Wonder if the band aids are still there. Thanks for the vid.

This is like the original “streaming” haha 😂

Amazing Tom! Hope you’re doing well!

Thanks for the Video; it was very helpful. My Rodgers C-100 just developed a reproducible issue. In the left hand (bass clef), My wife, the musician in the family, will get a bizarre loud sound if she plays a (B, Em, another B chord) and adds any combination of Ab, G, or Gb notes. It only happens with those combinations. I think it's a failing IC board, but I thought I'd ask if anyone else has run into this problem. Thanks!

I went to Tongue Point Job Corp Center for a year and have been fascinated with the area ever since. My wife and I often go to Seaside and hang out

I had great at Annies ... 😎

hello. how to make this analog white noise generaotor?

Do Not use toilet paper, as it has fibers in it that would stick to the contacts and rubber contacts and would cause more headaches down the road!!! Use a type of paper or sponge that would not leave particles behind!!!!

Beautiful town except for the rain 340 days a year

Thank you for sharing this video. I had 1 dead key that wasn't working, and wondering how to get to it and clean it. This really helps.

Hello Tommy Helgevold, it's great job. But please pardon me, I cannot understant.. FM frequency 87.5 MHz - 108.0 MHz . For proper resonant L- C values must be 1pF capacitor needs 3.31uH - 2.21 uH or for instance 20pF capacitor needs 0.165 uH - 0.108 uH AM frequency 522 kHz - 1620 kHz. For proper resonant L- C values must be 100 pF capacitor needs 911 uH - 96 uH or for example 20pF capacitor needs 4.555 miliHenries - 480 microHenries On internet Single-Layer Coil Calculator says Coil former diameter ( D ) = 3 cm, Number of turns ( N )=32 turns, Length of the coil ( l ) I guess =5 cm or 6 cm CALCULATE ....L = 13.330 uH or 15.196 uH, That's not important d=0.2 mm or 0.7 mm ... So your radio is not an AM or a FM ...

range?

Looks beautiful ,i wish i lived there .

Thank you for this!

It’s amazing I lived in this town at the age of 22 while my husband was attending college. My newborn baby girl and I met my very best girlfriend in this area we lived on Marine Drive. I did not drive I took the taxi everywhere and loved it I remember the hill and the taxi car was so Big and bulky and comfortable beautiful going to the beach because it was so close thanks for sharing

i really like it thanks sooo much even thou the radio worked 2 secs and cut off

Hi, the captions of function buttons came off on my Ensoniq SQ2, is there a hime way to redo the text on the front panel? Thnx!

Wow what a nice find . They're hard to find on eBay especially in condition like that great find

🙄

hi great video the AEA RS2232 DSP hard to find any other modem you can recommend ?

My great grandparents and later my grandma owned the house at 296 53rd Street. I believe my great grandfather built at least part of the house. They were Finnish immigrants that came to work at the canneries after a stint in bleak North Dakota. There was still black paint remnants left on the windows from WWII when I was growing up. My grandma didn't do much with the garden but there's many photos of my great grandparents standing proudly in the yard with my great grandma's dahlias and great grandpa's wooden spinners and yard art. It was split into a duplex by the time I was around, but was originally a 3 bed 2 bath house. My grandma and I would take the river walk when I came to visit her. She passed when I was 10. My other grandparents were near Cullaby Lake in Warrenton. I spent most summer breaks there growing up. My mom used to work at the Ship Inn. My great aunt Helmi worked at Home Baking Company on Marine Drive. My grandma would tell stories about working at the canneries at back in the day, and being able to stand out on the sand bar and there were so many salmon you could scoop them up in your arms (this may be hyperbole). Some part of my mom's side of the family owned Skipanon Canning-- they had my great grandma's salmon chowder recipe on their can. The Northern Oregon coast has a touch of magic.

Hi Tom. This video helped so much. I fixed my dead note on middle C using your video. Thanks Avesh from South Africa 🇿🇦

I blew mines trying to clean the contacts, I bought mines in mid 90's. I cleaned every contact. But when I screwed everything back up a couple of notes were still not working so I opened it again. This time I decided not to screw everything back together again and test the keys while it was open. I thought this would be easier but unfortunately I touched something inside against something metal on my desk and blew the thing. Just bought a dd50 rack which is a roland d50 without the keys. I will now be able to access the sounds via midi controller and at least I won't have the contact problem again. But I bet I can fix my roland d50 if I knew better what I was doing.

An astable multivibrator blinking circuit drawn with pencil would be cool.
